Mangoes Under the Microscope: Food Safety Inspections at Mozamjahi

Food safety inspectors carried out checks at Mozamjahi market in Hyderabad to check compliance with safety standards. The checks come after recent crackdowns on vendors applying artificial ripening agents, which are harmful to health. The checks are carried out to check the sale of fruits like mangoes that are ripened chemically and to check enforcement of FSSAI regulations. Officials are monitoring the misuse of ethylene and other ripening agents, which can lead to respiratory and skin problems. The drive is a part of larger measures aimed at ensuring greater food safety and safeguarding consumers' health.
